Discovering, Creating, Problem-Solving, or All Three?

Hi, my name is Wade created by Bryan. Mr. May asked us what does discovery mean. I think it means to learn things or find things out. It also means to find new places or things. For example, Columbus believed he could sail west to get to the East. And Magellan tried to be the first person to sail around the world, however that did not work. Both these men were discoverers. That is what discovery means to me.

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”: Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?

A catapult is a wooden contraption that shoots heavy things at enemies in a war during medieval times. A catapult gets its energy by being pulled back then flung forward. The farther you pull it back, the farther it will fling the rock. A catapult is built of rope, wood, wheels, and a bucket. Some catapults are huge; some catapults are very small. That is what a catapult is to me.
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?

How do We Catapult Ourselves into Problem Based Learning?
